Trenchermen owners taking Ohio House spot

The space that housed the Ohio House Coffee Shop for more than 50 years won't be empty for long.

Heisler Hospitality Group, owner of the hipster spots Trenchermen and Bar DeVille, has leased the spot at 600 N. LaSalle Drive for a new restaurant. While the place doesn't have a name, it does have a theme: "artisanal" biscuits and sandwiches. It is scheduled to open in fall. Eater Chicago got wind of the news first.

The location, attached to the Ohio House Motel, became vacant when the previous tenant closed in April. Coffee shop owner Cathy Roquemore said at that time that she thought a chain coffeehouse was to replace the restaurant that served diner fare to customers for decades.
